Bream is a fairly common but useful fish in Stardew Valley. You can use it to make several fish-based dishes or get Roe using the Fish Pond. You also need Bream for the Night Fishing Bundle when working on the Community Center restoration.
Here’s where and how to catch a Bream in Stardew Valley.
How to catch a Bream in Stardew Valley
You don’t need any special equipment to catch a Bream in Stardew Valley. Any fishing rod will do. With that said, if you’re just starting, a Bream may struggle a bit after you manage to hook one.
I suggest attaching Bait to your Fishing Rod and applying a fishing tackle to make things simplier.
I caught a Bream with an Iridium Fishing Rod, and it didn’t even move during the fishing mini-game.
Bream locations in Stardew Valley
Bream can be fished in two different locations in Stardew Valley only after dark (from 6pm to 2am).
- The River in Cindersap Forest (just below your farm)
- The River in Pelican Town
- Go to either location after 6:00 pm (any Saason) and cast your rod. As mentioned above, a Bream won’t give you too much trouble as long as you have a decent Fishing Rod or Bait.
